API continuation parameters encode sufficient state for a subsequent
query to continue where the previous one left off; this may sometimes
include page titles, with or without the namespace. Given that these
page titles are already in the exact format required for the next
request's SQL query, it is not necessary to "normalize" them in any way.
And if normalization does more than just change spaces to underscores or
vice versa (e.g. it canonicalizes namespace aliases or capitalizes the
first letter of the title), it can be actively harmful: see bug 36987
and bug 29290.
Note this patch involves a breaking API change: the values for the
"continue" parameter of various modules have been changed, and some
modules will now return "continue" as the continuation parameter instead
of reusing "from".
Note this patch also corrects a minor logic bug in ApiQueryAllLinks,
changing ">" to ">=". The line is being changed anyway, so I didn't
bother doing a separate changeset.

Doxygen choke on text enclosed by '<' and '>' since it tries to
interpret them as HTML or XML elements. This patch adds double quotes
in includes/api/*.php files around the two following strings:
<Firstname>.<Lastname>@gmail.com
<Firstname><Lastname>@gmail.com
Which becomes:
"<Firstname>.<Lastname>@gmail.com"
"<Firstname><Lastname>@gmail.com"
Tested locally, it prevents doxygen 1.8.0 related warnings.

Added information about the properties of the results of API calls
to action=paraminfo, including information about "property groups":
what should the prop parameter be set to to get that property.
Uses the same format for types as parameters already do.
The output format of some modules doesn't fit this, so the result
properties for them weren't added, or only partially.
Partially implemented modules:
* expandtemplates:
parsetree is in its own tag
* protect, allusers, backlinks, deletedrevs, info, imageinfo,
logevents, querypage, recentchanges, revisions, searchinfo,
usercontribs, userinfo, users, watchlist, upload:
response with partially complex structure
Not implemented modules:
* feedcontributions, feedwatchlist, opensearch, rds:
non-standard reponse
* help:
error is normal response; not very useful for automated tools anyway
* paraminfo, parse, pageprops, siteinfo, userrights:
response with complex structure
